But then how would we distinguish from {lo ba bariyxantyzma} or
{lo ba ba riyxantizma}?

brivla that start with a vowel require a pause, too, becasue
initial vowel always must start with a pause. Similarly, cmene
always must start with a pause (unless preceded by doi/la/lai/la'i).
Otherwise cmavo forms and brivla forms would fall off.

Right, but that's more a consequence of brivla rules than a requirement
for anything. That rule doesn't exclude any candidate fu'ivla.
